Hi Christian,
Ok, thank you, that would be nice in deed. I can see that I do need some
thorough instructions.
I just tried to make Liblouis with the distwin option, but apparently I need to
start a docker daemon.
So, where do I start? :-)
BTW: should we take the discussion off list?

My ultimate goal is to compile it for Windows. I understand that this mustbe done from a Docker image. I am absolutely new to docker, but does that

You do not need Docker to compile for windows. It's just that Docker helps to
create a controlled and reproducible environment to do a
(cross) compilation. If you'd rather compile directly in Windows that might
work too. I just do not happen to have such a environment.
There is a Docker image for liblouisutdml, but it currently just builds
liblouis
amd the liblouisutdml inside the docker image. You could just use that to run
liblouisutdml on Windows.
If however you want to use docker to cross-compile liblouisutdml for
Windows then I would create a new Dockerfile based on Dockerfile.win64 in
liblouis. I've started that but it appears that I got side tracked with other
duties.
I'd be happy to help ypu with that effort.
Thanks
Christian
